Welcome
So you may be asking yourself, ‘why CERTIFIED?’, ‘What makes this company different?’ Aside from our overachieving work ethic + dashing good looks (which could arguably be said for your local banker), we truly do put our clients’ needs first and foremost. Let’s be honest—the mortgage process can be overwhelming and possibly seem a bit scary. It’s our job to walk you through the steps, ‘The Certified Process’. We get to know you, your situation and your homeownership goals. We’ll then shop around with our various investors to place your loan with the best possible solution. Think of us as your personal shopper; finding the perfect (mortgage) fit for you.
‘Cool. So who would I be working with?’ Our team encompasses a diverse group of individuals that specialize in various mortgage products. Our leadership team takes pride in bringing passionate, likeminded loan officers to the forefront of the industry. What they all have in common is their dedication to finding solutions, executing loans in a timely manner, and a never-ending passion for putting clients first. Always.
